EDITORIAL,

The class of '89 is about to leave the college halls and go forth
into the world. Each and every member takes in his hand a copy
of The Debutante and his diploma (we name them in order of im-
portance and hope that neither will be omitted) and feels fully pre-
pared to join the graduates coming at this time from other colleges
to dazzle the world in its ignorance by the light of their own supe-
rior wisdom. A few months will doubtless be sufficient to convince
most of us that there really are a few things to be learned and a few
persons towards whom we must not be too condescending; but
until then we are proud — proud of ourselves, proud of our record,
and, above all, proud to be the first class of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity to fulfil the wish of Job : "Oh that mine adversary had written
a book." If any have regarded us as enemies, may they, in the
pages which follow, find nothing to increase their enmity but rather
words to cause the frown to give place to a smile, for yes, gentle
reader, one or two things in this book are intended as jokes, per-
haps you can tell which. Read it carefully then and reserve un-
favorable criticism until you have had time for mature reflection.
Complaints will be willingly received after June 15, at the office,
but the editors will be out of town.

The editors do not desire to be held personally responsible
for the correctness in every detail of contributed articles ; witness
the conflicting accounts given by '89 and '90 of the one event com-
mon to the histories of both classes. What editor would dare assert
that both were correct or risk his life by denying either?

The fair Debutante takes this opportunity to thank all those
who have so cordially rendered assistance in the preparation for her
debut. In her name we extend our thanks to Dr. A. J. Volck who has
kindly sketched the frontispiece, to President D. C. Gilman for his
article on the University, to Prof. H. A. Rowland for photograph of
the University buildings, to the classes of '90 and '91 for the history
and cut given by each, to the Fraternity Chapters, and finally to all
those who have so willingly availed themselves of all opportunities to
render assistance and have encouraged us by their enthusiasm.

THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY.

The Johns Hopkins University owes its foundation to the liber-
ality of the Baltimore merchant whose name it bears. He died
on the twenty-fourth of December, 1873, nearly eighty years of
age, leaving a large fortune, most of which he gave in two nearly
equal amounts for the endowment of a University and for the en-
dowment of a Hospital. He directed that, when the Hospital was
completed, it should become a part of the Medical School of the
University. Many years before his death he began to cherish the
idea of establishing these two institutions, and the letter of instruc-
tions signed by him shows the broad and enlightened views which
he held with respect to the welfare of mankind. At the same time
his specific bequests were very simple, and he left to his Trustees
the decision of all details.

The University was incorporated under the general laws of the
State of Maryland before the death of the founder, and soon after
his death the Trustees held their first business meeting, on the 6th of
February, 1874. The first President of the University, who is still
in office, was elected in December of that year, and entered upon his
duties in the following May. The instruction of the University
began in the autumn of 1876, and has been gradually extended
and improved since that time.

The University Buildings are placed in the heart of the city,
within sight of the Washington Monument, and near to a large
number of literal"}' and educational establishments. They include
a central building, in which are the offices of administration and
the class-rooms for the ancient languages. Directly west of this
building are the Library of the University and the largest lecture-
room, known as Hopkins Hall. Beyond this, to the west, stands
the Chemical Laboratory, a very convenient and well-equipped
establishment; and still further to the west is the Biological Labo-
ratory, likewise a three-story building, in which all the best modern
appliances are found for the study of the biological sciences.
North of the main group of buildings stands the Gymnasium, with
its accessory bath-rooms, lunch-rooms, and study-rooms. Still
further north is the largest and best of all the buildings yet

constructed, the Physical Laboratory. Several dwelling-houses in the
neighborhood are also used for class-rooms.

The University is organized upon the principle that a university
is a body of teachers and scholars, universitas magistrorum et discipu-
lorum, — a corporation maintained for the conservation and advance-
ment of knowledge, in which those who have been thoroughly pre-
pared for higher studies are encouraged to continue, under compe-
tent professors, their intellectual advancement in many branches of
science and literature. In this society we recognize two important
grades, (a) the collegiate students, who are aspirants for the diploma
of Bachelor of Arts, to which they look forward as a certificate that
they have completed a liberal course of preliminary study, — and (b)
the university students, including the few who may be candidates for
a higher diploma, that of Doctor or Master (a certificate that they
have made special attainments in certain branches of knowledge),
and a larger number who, without any reference to a degree, are
simply continuing their studies for varying periods. Corresponding
to the wants of these two classes of students, we have two methods
of instruction — the rule of the college, which provides discipline,
drill, training in appointed tasks, for definite periods ; and the rule
of the university, the note of which is opportunity, freedom, encour-
agement, and guidance in more difficult studies, inquiries, and pur-
suits. Thus far our organization has maintained but one faculty,
that of philosophy or the liberal arts, although there is an important
nucleus of a department of medicine.

The academic staff included during the year 1888-89 fifty-five
teachers. The number of students enrolled was three hundred and
ninety-one, of whom one hundred and ninety-one were residents
of Maryland, one hundred and eighty came here from thirty-four
other States of the Union and twenty-one from foreign countries.
Among the students were two hundred and thirteen already gradua-
ted, coming from ninety-seven colleges and universities; there
were one hundred and twenty-nine matriculates (or candidates for
the degree of Bachelor of Arts); and there were forty nine admitted
as special students, to pursue courses of study for which they seemed
fitted, without reference to graduation. The degree of Bachelor of
Arts was conferred in 1888 upon thirty-four candidates, and twenty-
seven candidates were promoted to the degree of Doctor of Phi-
losophy.

VIEWS OF CLIFTON,

During thirteen years, fourteen hundred and twenty individuals
have been enrolled as students, of whom six hundred and twenty-six
have come from Maryland (including four hundred and ninety-
four from Baltimore), and seven hundred and ninety-four from fifty
other states and countries. Of this number eight hundred and
nineteen persons pursued courses as graduate students, and six
hundred and one as collegiate students.

Since degrees were first conferred, in 1878, one hundred and
seventy-seven persons have attained the Baccalaureate degree, and
one hundred and thirty-one have been advanced to the degree of Doc-
tor of Philosophy, as appears from the following table : — ,

Beyond the Philosophical Faculty, the Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity now turns to Medicine. The completion of a noble group of
buildings for the Johns Hopkins Hospital, its large, separate, and
unimpaired endowment, and, above all, the enlightened and far-
sighted vision of its managers, are signs of progress upon which the
eyes of the medical and surgical world are fixed. It was the in-
junction of the founder that the hospital when completed should
form a part of the medical school of the university of which he
was also the founder; and, accordingly, while every appliance
which science and humanity can suggest for the relief of the sick
and wounded has been provided, the hospital authorities have con-
stantly borne in mind the prospective requirements of a high school
of medicine. The time has not yet come for the complete unfold-
ing of their purposes. What they will do is largely a question of
money. But every step that has been taken indicates a consistent
aud determined purpose to contribute to the advancement of medi-
cine and surgery, with an enlightened regard to the welfare of man-
kind. It is certain that in the future of the Johns Hopkins, the medical

faculty will hold a rank not in the least inferior to that of phi-
losophy.

Some recent announcements are significant. From the begin-
ning the university has provided a liberal course of studies antece-
dent to medicine, including (after the fundamental study of Latin,
mathematics, and English) French and German, physics, chemistry,
and biology. As the sciences named are taught by laboratory
methods and through prolonged periods, the discipline they afford
is an admirable training for the hand, the eye, and the brain of
those who are afterward to be engaged in the study of disease and
the relief of suffering. More recently the university has estab-
lished a chair of pathology, which is filled by a professor of rare
qualifications, and the laboratory that has been fitted up for him in
the autopsy building at the hospital affords every facility for the
study of the most recent developments in bacteriology and the
theories of disease. An associate professor of human anatomy has
been designated, and he is to spend a year in Europe perfecting
himself in the latest methods employed in the continental schools.
The hospital trustees have been so fortunate as to enlist in their
work one of the most distinguished physicians of the country, now
a professor in the University of Pennsylvania, and he has also been
appointed a professor of the Principles and Practice of Medicine
in the university.

It is easy to see that several of the chairs of a School of Medi-
cine are thus provided for — chemistry, physiology, comparative anat-
omy, human anatomy, pathology, medicine, surgery. Other chairs
will, of course, be requisite before a medical school can be thor-
oughly organized ; but, at present, while the attention of the
authorities is directed to the proper beginning of the hospital, med-
ical education is in abeyance. Before many years, when the means
of the University are enlarged, perhaps when a special endowment
is received, Baltimore seems destined to become the seat of a school
of medicine, such as does not now exist in the country.

From the beginning, the trustees and faculty have endeavored
to guide the institution for which they are responsible in such a way
as to make it serviceable to American education. They have en-
deavored to avoid everything which would appear to rival or injure
other institutions, and, on the other hand, to develop ideas which
the best minds of the country have pointed out as demanding the
10

PHYSICAL LABORATORY

support of a great endowment. Consequently, the laboratories
have been freely opened to men engaged in scientific research;
books and periodicals have been freely purchased and liberally lent ;
the pages of the periodicals printed here have been opened to
writers in any place. Liberal aid has been given to important
inquiries, sometimes instituted by the National Government (as in
electricity and magnetism) ; or by municipal request (respecting,
for example, the purity of drinking water and the protection of the
public health) ; or by the State of Maryland (as in respect to the
principles of taxation and the protection of oyster fisheries) ; or
from purely scientific impulses (as in the production of spectrum
gratings and the study of light). Aid has been given to the publica-
tion of learned works, valuable but not remunerative, like the
" Didache" the "Syrian Antilegomena," the "Lectures of Sir
William Thomson," " Contributions to Logic," etc. These are but
examples of a series of cooperative undertakings, from which the
historical, economical, and educational papers must on no account
be omitted. To all requests for such cooperation the university
has responded without reference to pecuniary returns.

Respecting the finances of the university, which have been the
subject of many remarks during the last few months, the following
statements were publicly made, at the exercises of Commemoration
Day, February 22, 1889 : — " It is true that we have lost for a time
our income from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the securities to
which the sagacious founder of the University entrusted his endow-
ment with so much confidence that he recommended his Trustees
not to dispose of the stock, but to keep it as an investment. He
was doubtless influenced by the fact that this security was free from
the taxation which would fasten itself upon another investment.
We believe that this suspension of dividends upon the part of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is but temporary, and that the stock
is now, and always will be, property of great value. But we have
possessions of even greater worth. The Johns Hopkins University
owns nearly 300 acres of land, within the present limits of the city,
which will soon be laid out in streets and avenues. Fifteen or six-
teen miles of street frontage can then be sold or leased. ' The past
at least is secure,' but to this familiar utterance we can safely add,
'the future is as secure as the past.' Our cause for anxiety is the
present. How shall we make the transit between the prosperity of
12

the past ten years and the prosperity that is to follow. How shall
we meet the emergency of the next five years ?

" A prudent management of our affairs during the last few
years has enabled the Trustees to pay all their current expenses, to
build three fine laboratories, to collect a great library and a large
amount of apparatus, and to buy a great deal of real estate for the
buildings that are wanted, and at the same time to lay by a consid-
erable amount of accumulated income. This store they are now
spending. It is not, like the widow's cruse, inexhaustible, but if
the sum of $100,000 can be added to it, and if our receipts from
tuition remain undiminished, the University will go forward, during
the next three years, without contraction, without borrowing, and
without begging. I am happy to say that, although the Trustees
have not felt willing to make an appeal to the public, and although
no authorized statements on this subject have been published, a
number of the citizens of Baltimore have of their own accord ex-
pressed the desire to raise this amount and have pledged themselves
for generous sums. It would be difficult for me to express the en-
couragement I have received as one and another of these helpful
friends have intimated their readiness to contribute liberally to-
ward the desired amount. More than half of the proposed fund
has already been definitely pledged. One subscription has come
from New York, another from Liverpool, but almost all, as we
might expect, have come from those who are most intimately ac-
quainted with the working of the University, our own neighbors
and friends, who know the difficulties under which we labor, the
methods which we follow, and the hopes by which we are inspired."

Since the above statements were made, additional subscriptions
have been received, making the success of this movement almost
certain.

CLASS HISTORY.

A. B. FAUST.

"There is a history in all men's lives." — Shakespeare.

Classmates : We are nearly ready to be hurled upon the world
in an exploding bomb. While the preparations for the shot are
being made, a few moments are yet left to us to join once more in
friendship before our final parting ; and while we are thus gathered
together, let us try to live over again the three years so quickly
passed and so filled with pleasant recollections. Let us have a
hearty laugh, at times; let us be of good cheer, while one by one
the familiar incidents of our college career pass quickly before our
view; and may the Muses guide the train of recollections and order
and embellish them !

When we were first received into the fostering arms of our Alma
Mater, we were a motley company of about fifty freshmen. From
those terrible examinations that were hurled upon our heads a num-
ber escaped scot free — some of them, to their own surprise, even
laden with the ever- exacting burden of scholarships, while others,
less fortunate, but possessing the advantage of numbers, dragged
behind them instead irksome conditions, that every day became
heavier and more alarming, until their kind Mamma, pity-stricken,
took away the wearisome burdens.

As a class we were, of course, not as fresh as they make them
now. We did not take possession of the tennis-court, nor build
our fire there during the winter months; nor did we bowl in the
gymnasium. But take a word of warning, young neophytes, next
year when Tom reappears from over the waters, the mice will have to
behave themselves, as we pretended to do.

It is a peculiarity of our Alma Mater to put the freshman
through various toils, whereby, if he survive, he may render him-
self proof against all misdirected enthusiasm. For the indulgence
of this peculiarity she initiated us into the mysterious P. H. E.
Such an amount of interest was developed for this famous triad,
that not one of us would ever think of cutting, unless perhaps he

was suffering from a malady that could strike the professor's im-
agination, or unless " irremediable circumstances " demanded his
presence elsewhere, when nothing more important was going on in
class than a written recitation in history, or some searching ques-
tions on the Second Book of Herodotus, or a quiz on the by-gone
woods of Kent, or the sunken islands of the Pacific, or a lesson in
Chaucer, or, or, * * * ad inf., and even in such cases our model
boy felt himself constrained to show his face in the class-room,
though circumstances did compel him to disappear immediately
after roll-call. After such experiences, upon the high road of our
early career we were stripped and searched, but received no bodily
injury, except that in some cases our personal vanity was not alto-
gether pleased by some cautions against the neglect of a certain
article of toilet. A course of lectures on Hygiene, attendance
compulsory, followed thereon and the attendance was so good,
that on several occasions at roll-call, three other men besides the
owner answered to his name.

Again we were taken into a mysterious room, whose note of
welcome was a peculiar sound, spelt Beeyuoo. After we had
learned how to breathe and to say " ik, it, ip," and " lost sheep,"
we were initiated into the mysteries of passion and of madness
especially ; we were told where to go to get our clothes made ; we
were shown how to pick up a lady's handkerchief gracefully ; how
to sit, stand, bow, — in short, everything, until, to borrow a favorite
figure of our professor's, until we could do like the frog, who, as you
all know, " jumps when he runs and stands up when he sits down."

The breathing exercises brought up the old story of the student
who tried to improve his breathing by laying three immense lexi-
cons on his lower respiratory organs. Poor soul ; he is now breath-
ing unobstructedly in the land of shades. There is a story of a
similar kind floating around somewhere in the Chemistry Minor about
another bright lad who took home, in his pocket, a large piece of
phosphorus from the Laboratory in order to exhibit its " funny
properties before mamma and the girls." When all are gathered
round the genial fireside, the hero suddenly recollects the treasured
article, by the sudden commotion in his pocket and calmly grasps
it in his hands, where the phosphorus begins to show certainly very
wonderful properties, alike surprising to the family and to the ex-
perimenter himself. But let us not wander from our subject.

As the newly arrived spirits in the "Purgatory" stand in
amaze at the many strange things they see, so we, in our first year,
were naturally over-awed by certain beings like the dazzling Eddie
Whiskerosus, and the ubiquitous William Devr — s, and the cigar-
smoking, fund-gathering William Klapp, but as we grew older and
more at home with the University and its inhabitants, even the
mighty Achilles became known to us by the more familiar appella-
tion " Paul."

Our first class meetings were not as peaceable and amiable as
one would judge from the present aspect of the class. Many a
time did King Mollis raise his trident and break open the cave of
the whirlwinds, to let them loose among us and in the ballot-box.
Two successive revolutions brought about as many complete changes
of officers ; not until one half year was over, did we obtain any-
thing like stability in our organization. Although we enjoyed the
tumult as much as any Frenchman could do, in our shiftings of
ministries and cabinets we never felt it incumbent upon us to de-
clare anybody an enemy to the state, or to set him adrift beyond
the borders, but our animosity culminated in a general, well-meant
handshaking, and in such lasting good-feeling as has not been
equalled by many classes of the J. H. U.

B. B. Shreeves was our first chairman ; he has always had the
glory of the class at heart, especially when its deeds were to be
celebrated before the public.

Ralph Robinson has the honor of having been our first presi-
dent, but shortly after his inauguration he made " il gran rifiuto,"
and S. Guy Snowden was appointed in his place. S. Guy wore no
glasses then, nor did he think that his eyes would soon break down
for him under the strain of /Eschylus and Plato, and cause him to
take refuge in '90. He has been elected an honorary member of
our class just as the noble president of our second year, W. T. Wat-
son, who was prematurely drawn away by the charms of the medi-
cal profession, and is now already bewitched to spout volumes of
blood-curdling yarns and "interesting " cases.

The 22nd of February of this year, the eleventh anniversary
of the J. H. U., was a great occasion for us. On this day we for
the first time flourished "old gold and marroon " ribbon, with
which Shreeves had presented us, and what with class colors and our
class yell, we were the only class that gave any signs of its existence.

The year came quickly to a close with spring sports and " Fi-
nals " following hard upon, a constant source of terror to freshmen.

We were greatly reduced in numbers, upon entering our second
year ; many a good fellow had disappeared from our ranks ; and
the vacancies were only partially filled by some valuable contribu-
tions from other classes. In this year the class was scattered in
small sections for special work, and there was no P. H. E. or L. E. P.
to bring a large number together ; we therefore had recourse to
frequent class meetings. Classmates ! it would probably be well to
allow an ignorant outsider, who wishes it, to be introduced into one
of these class-meetings, to show him what wonderful fellows we
really are ; let him imagine himself suspended in mid-air, as it
were, taking a bird's-eye view of the situation. He will see first
II Srgnor Emilio Parlato from fair Sicily, who has just risen and
with stentorian voice demands a point of information. Next to
him, Will Hilles, buried in his chair, his upper lips lightly curled
by a complacent smile, half betraying an abundant store of dry
wit, which only on account of an aversion to exertion, is prevented
from seeking expression. There sits Horatio Warren, our class
poet, sunk deep in the gulf of meditation and anchored there, his
hands in his pockets, his long beard resting heavy upon his bosom,
his legs stretching far under the chairs in front of him, like the
widespreading roots of some mighty oak. Near him sit Reeves,
Bernhardt, and other eminent philosophers of ours.

There are the two tramps, Harrison & Edes, chums ; the for-
mer is our treasurer, and is so honest that he has never attempted
to tramp to Canada with our funds, though he has made the dis-
tance thrice over in Baltimore county. Probably he has never been
sufficiently tempted, for our funds only amount to three coppers
which our treasurer himself donated to get his office. Edes is the
venerable recorder of our minutes for '88-' 89, and helps to run
the tramp club, which means running yourself to death, and he thinks
that spending the night in a barn or hay-loft thirty miles from town
is the most enjoyable recreation imaginable ; his chum agrees with
him. In the farthest end of the room are.Roszel, Lazear and Cooke,
all men of muscle. Passano is not among these. Billings had a
special clause in the constitution made for him against smoking in
class meetings; he stayed away after it was passed. Thomas and
Keidel are here to-day as a special favor. The three doctors from
20

Chicago are present : Eisendrath, Patek and Abt ; the last in his
time has made violent attempts at conciliating policemen, and blow-
ing out electric lights. The two Taylors, the one a possible artist,
the other a possible lawyer, are both prominent men of our class.
Marden next year is going to teach the Patagonians and cannibals
of Terra del Fuego some Old French and Political Economy.
McCulloh is now getting off a yarn, and is trying to make Hull un-
derstand him, but is evidently not succeeding, although Hull can
understand Dr. Ely tolerably well. Sadtler is smiling at Mack, but
now he turns his head and listens to the business of the meeting,
and will presently give us some wise counsel. Alfred Mann, who,
as a freshman, used to have a collection of snakes, tadpoles, lizards,
and other marine insects, at all stages of development, in his tooth-
mug and wash-basin, — takes an active interest in the class, and his
enthusiasm carries him into too broad a field of work ; he is the
only man in the Johns Hopkins who can get up a University dance.

And there sits Barnum's Culver, the class prophet, who has his
head full of Greek and Latin and his mouth full of puns. His
modesty will probably not allow him to predict events for himself,
so with his permission let us try to prophesy for him. When the
circle of seasons shall have revolved to the number of five and ten,
lo ! — one day he will be a famous man, and lo ! — he will occupy
the chair of Professor Gildersleeve and lecture in Greek to a body
of students from all nations ; and lo ! once in a while there will
be perceptible on the right side of the Professor's cheek, a slight
nervous twitch, which thosewho knew him well would immediately
interpret, if they were present, as the harbinger of a terrible pun ;
and lo ! — the English member, seeing no further alteration in the
Professor's face, will take down the pun in his note-book as serious
fact, while the other members of the seminary will excuse them-
selves for the rest of the day, and will explode forthwith outside.

Now, since the curious have been introduced, from one aspect,
at least, to some of the sparkling genius of our class, the narrative
may now take a smoother course. At the meeting just spoken of,
we voted unanimously to have a class banquet, and thereby estab-
lished a precedent which will probably be followed by other classes.
The liquor question came up, and a struggle ensued, one of the
most memorable in class history. Our famous teetotaller, hurling
all his weapons and seeing his foes falling one by one, elated by
21

victory, formally declared that he would one day rout liquor out of
this country just as he had done in our class.

Our class banquet was held at the St. James Hotel on the 21st
of February, 1888, and everybody who was there knows it was a
grand success. After the first course, a smiling darky set before
our toast-master a huge pigeon-patty ; when it was opened there
flew out a pretty white pigeon that wore about its neck an old-gold-
and-marroon ribbon, to which a sealed envelope was attached, bear-
ing a greeting to '89. During the evening we Marylanders offered
the Wild Westerner some famed Maryland terrapin, but those beefy
palates would not acknowledge it the best thing they had ever tasted.
After the dishes were removed, our toast-master with some others
disappeared downstairs for something to drink, and they came up
with spirits so improved that we were sorry we couldn't believe that
they had taken lemonade as they told us. Our toast-master then
set rolling the ball of speech-making and it continued to roll till
the next morning. The "Faculty" were toasted, and probably
they would like to know what was said about them ; the " Girls "
were toasted, and it is likely that their curiosity is also somewhat
roused ; the " Landlady " was toasted, and possibly it would please
her, too, to hear a word about herself; but since detail so minute
would occupy more space that is at our disposal, and might, in the
first case, conflict with getting our degrees, it is therefore inexpedi-
ent to climb the dizzy heights to which our speechifiers ascended.

The class of '89 holds the championship in Football. Although
we do not boast of prowess in athletics, the following indestructi-
ble fact was found written on Clio's tablets: " In the fall of 1887
a well-fought game was played between '89 and '90, which resulted
in favor of '89 ; score, 5 to o. '89 then challenged '88, but the
latter would not play " (because they had no team)

The coming spring was marked by the usual spring sports in
which also '89 took part. The standing high jump was virtually a
contest, for the championship of '89, since Keidel and McDougall
were the only contestants. Keidel' s figure and dress won the jump
as well as the attention and sympathy of everybody on the fair
campus at Clifton.

We soon saw the class of '88 set out upon its voyage on the
sea of life, and then we shook hands and parted for the summer
vacation. Some, no doubt, entered a fair, sunshine land of idle-
22

ness, and falling asleep by a babbling brook, dreamed their loveli-
est day-dreams, or communing with the beauties of Nature, cele-
brated for the last time the return of the Golden Age ; some went
still further, as statistics show, and perhaps finding themselves in a
boat on a beautiful summer evening, alone with a lovely, bewitching
lassie, the moon rising, "throwing a silver mantle over all, " sud-
denly felt a sharp pain from Cupid's arrow and were led captive to
the palace of Venus. Others, again, of our classmates possibly rode
a hobby-horse all summer and by toil self-imposed, so groaned and
sweated under the weary load that they longed for the beginning of
the new term ; and how many of us, through an influence unlooked
for, or an accident unforeseen, may have found our thoughts sud-
denly turned to deeper courses, and listening attentive to the mur-
murings within, recognized distinctly the voice of our vocation.

We entered upon our Senior Year with the pride of lions.
The class of '90 seemed to doubt our supremacy, for during one of
our first meetings she attacked us with her hideous yell and then
by main force tried to expel us from our hall. But the might of '89,
though not embodied in her class yell, repulsed and put to rout poor
'90 in such a manner that within fifteen minutes the whole of '90 lay
outside on Monument Street, discomfited and crestfallen, while
books and hats were scattered to the four winds. Then '89 went
upstairs again and we continued our meeting which adjourned a good
hour after the fight was over and forgotten. Our president for a
long time held in his possession as a trophy of victory a cuff and
cuff button but finally restored them to the owner who very humbly
sued for pardon.

We had a class supper shortly after, at which Waldo Newcomer
presided. Newcomer in his quiet, decisive way accomplishes more
than a dozen average bustling fellows ; still, they say, he played the
part of a Texan cowboy last summer ; he is our last president and
will steer our class straight to its destiny. Our supper possessed a
very attractive feature in the punch-bowl around which we gathered
close and drank healths to the class and all creation ; we poured out
libations to Bacchus and to Eloquence and sang the familiar round
of college songs. One of our men, who in his eagerness to lay hold
of '90 had fallen down the stairs and was disabled for a week, said
that having had ample time to consider the matter at his leisure, he
had come to the conclusion that in spite of the glory we might reap

therefrom, a class rush was not a matter we should idealize. As be-
came the hero of the fight he was given the seat nearest the healing
punch bowl.

Prof. Emmott gave the class of '89 a reception at his home,
where we all spent a very pleasant evening, and he may be sure of a
warm spot in our hearts reserved for him. The presentation of a
cane to Prof. Emmott was a noteworthy event closing the year of
1888. F. B. Culver made the presentation speech and the doctor bore
manfully a terrific pun about Cain hurled at him by our prophet. It
is difficult to draw a hard and fast line between puns and non-puns
when his prophetic serenity opens his lips.

On the 2 2d of February the under-graduates made a gorgeous
display of class colors and yells in honor of George Washington.
At the athletic exhibition in the evening Robinson and Billings ob-
tained glory for themselves and '89.

Many another incident may occur in the near future, which
may redound with honor upon the class of '89, but such we must bear
in our memories unrecorded, for the narrative at present must end
here. Pity there are no cremations, for our Muse to delight in,
no boat races or bowl fights, whose very mention thrills the heart of
the college man with ardor and emulation. But the college spirit of
Johns Hopkins University is just awakening from its long infant
slumbers and often it awakes merely to bawl until it is put to sleep
again ; still the infant must be fostered for its own sake, and '89
may congratulate herself upon having contributed such a great por-
tion in this humane work.

When twice a week the long 'bus with its four dapple horses and
tinkling bells, turns the corner and stops before the gymnasium, the
college man who is allured by the welcome sound and the vision of
the fair campus at Clifton, has undergone a severe struggle with tyran-
nous time, and he enters the 'bus, not because that is the object for
which he is at college, but for the purpose of being able to work better
thereafter. Although we lose much of the gaiety and sport of our
college life, we may one day come to thank our Alma Mater for
what she has given us instead : an appreciation of the value of time,
and an earnestness of endeavor, which far better prepare us for the
life upon which we are about to enter.

The class of '89 has been harmonious as a whole ; there has al-
ways been unity in purpose and work. This has enabled us to take

the lead in adopting class colors, a yell, to hold banquets, and finally
to be the first to issue a class-book. We always had well-attended
meetings, as the class of '90 can testify to their sorrow. However,
we will no longer crow over such a small matter ; on the contrary,
before parting we mean to be good friends with the class of '90, as well
as with dear '91 with its darling yell. YVe would not wish in a sweep-
ing statement to call ourselves the best that ever were or will be;
but during three years we have been taught to strive for truth, and in
justice to our education, we modestly wish to be regarded only as a
link in the long chain of classes, and only hope and pray that our
link may prove to be a strong one.

Soon our work will no longer lie together under the tender guid-
ance of men whom we have learned to respect, to love and honor,
but we will be far scattered on the vast field of the world's work ; it
has been ascertained that many of our number will devote themselves
to bearing the torch of instruction, many will take up the profession
of law or of medicine ; some will lead lives of encouragement and
example as ministers ; some will search for hidden laws of Nature,
and it seems furthermore, from many indications, that the Muses
have sung at our cradle and smiled upon the infancy of our class.
But whatever part we be of the " One Man," whether the right arm,
or the eye, or the ear, or other part, may we be a joy to him and his
Maker !

And if any two of us meet again in future years, let us cherish
our old acquaintance, and may the sight of an old friend be an en-
couragement to us. When we approach the time when we must bid
each other a final adieu, let us rally round once more and raise a
cheer to the skies ; then we may enter the bomb with good courage,
and be hurled forth, and burst upon the world.

CLASS POEM.

Solitude and Society.

Now as from wider vision taking life,

The soul all duty- rested, wakes anew,
What jarring notes of discord and of strife

Shall pierce her triumph-hymns and love-songs through !
For none will list her pleadings, save to scorn ;

The stony hearted throng in silence stand
And, from her wooing, love is never born ;

She dwells a stranger in an unknown land.
Yet none the less the holy love-light glows

With angel halo round that sacred face.
This is a faith no hatred overthrows ;

This a belief where doubting has no place.
And as a mariner from some far shore

Sights a familiar headland down the skies,
And to his eager scanning more and more

Beloved strands and well-known hills arise,
On lonely deserts doth she fix her gaze

As semblance strange of one time home she knew ;
And, as she fares along the untrodden ways,

Do tree and flower wear fairer form and hue
And mountain storms have loosed the singer's tongue ;

A low voice calls her through the midnight hush,
She walks a mortal, angel-guests among,

She stands in awe before the burning bush.
While others come and go in careless glee
She dwells alone in silent ecstasy.

II.
So has some lone and holy eremite,

Driven by failing heart or unkind men,
Sought things above the reach of common sight,

Found things above the reach of common ken ;
And, far beyond the range of human sound,

Has thought and prayed and sung and lived and died,
His songs of rapture silenced now and drowned

In the sad passion-cry of the worldly tide.
Perchance upon some wavering fitful breeze
The straining ear has listed words like these :

"In youth from out a narrow vale 1 saw
Far up the heights an angel face ashine

And started straightway up the rugged steep
To make that beauty and that glory mine.

And now an old man on this peak I stand
And round about me cast my eager eyes

And lo ! There in dim distance glows
A lovelier face where higher mountains rise."

Ah ! not the rapture of the hermit saint,
Nor the pure life of lonely anchorite,

Has raised the fallen or relieved the faint
Or cleaved vain questionings with a guiding light.

They lie uncared for and in unwept graves.

Themselves they saved. They could not others save.

III.
There is a wilderness within whose bound

The lion-hearted and the bravest quail.
There is a solitude where happy sound

And song and shout of joy must ever fail.
There the sad soul, though pleadingly she cry,
Ne'er finds an answering voice, ne'er hears reply.

Though pleadingly she cry, her pity falls
On careless hearts that laugh her grief to see.

Though pleadingly she cry, in vain she calls
The sorrowing throng to share her sympathy.

Though pleadingly she cry through bitter tears

For help, and through her night no help appears.
Yet firm she stands and eagerly she gives

Her noble life and opes her great heart wide
Till midst a conquered, loving band she lives

Or on the scorned cross is crucified.
But brighter through each age her name shall shine,
Blending the human with a type divine.

IV.

Now e'er the path of duty open clear,

Now while the shifting mists our vision blind,
Ye, who no mist or darkness ever fear,

O guides, redeemers, lovers of mankind,
Sound yet again a ringing, thrilling cry,

As to a wider, nobler life we turn,
That though they love or though they crucify

From us re-echoed they your accents learn.
Then shall no songs upon a fitful breeze

Be borne uncertain to the straining ear,
Nor in far deserts on his bended knees

The raptured saint forget his duty here.
But, as the prophet came to Jordan land

With joys and hopes as they might never guess,
O masters, masters at thy sides we stand,

Each one " a voice within the wilderness "
And hark ! Through faltering lips and rising tears

Swells out a greeting hymn across the years :
" For every pine that in far solitudes

Raised her dear singing crown to the undimmed sky,
For every stream that flowed where silence broods

Whose waves were never known to human eye,
For every storm that hurled its icy breath

Straight from those wastes of everlasting snow,
For every precipice that threatened death,

Along whose height no man had dared to go,
Once we gave thanks, that there we still might see
Unconquered lands where we the first might be.

But still within these peopled lands we dwell,
The wildness narrows each succeeding year,

New states are rising and great cities swell
With busy tumult that we clearly hear.

But all around the pines are singing free,
On awful precipices oft we stand,

The icy winds upheave an unsailed sea,
Deep rivers flow across a savage land.

And still we thank whatever power there be

For virgin lands that we the first may see."

— H. A. Warren,

THE CLASS PROPHECY;

Or, Scenes from the Future.
by frank b. culver.

***************

" For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see "
***************

It is near midnight. The student's lamp is burning low, and
the expiring hearth-embers cast their shadows on the floor — shadows
weird, fantastic, mysterious. Throughout the house an awful death-
like stillness reigns. By the fire-side sits a wretched student lost in
reverie — in his hand he holds a well worn volume of Jevons's Logic
for Infants.

Within that student's bosom a mighty struggle is going on, but
the careless world without knows naught of the heroic contest that
rages in that lonely chamber.

The student is sleepy and the flesh, although in the case of the
vast majority of students not necessarily tender, is nevertheless weak.
But fourteen pages of Deductive stare him in the face and the terrors
of the next day's " quiz " freeze his youthful blood.

Morpheus stretches forth his all-embracing tentacles and the
midnight music of the spheres, like siren-voices, allure to slumber.

In vain he tries to resist — the feelers of Morpheus hug him ever
closer and closer, as softly he murmurs to himself the logical lullaby :

"Barbara, Celarent, Darii, Ferioque, " et cetera, — the soporific
nursery-rhyme sung by philosophic matrons, " in the brave days of
old," to many a bawling Aristotlet, and which, along with many
other specimens to be found in modern logical text-books, merits
deathless infamy as a " stuporific " recipe.

The somnolent youth continues the strain, mental as well as
musical (?) :

" Caesare, Camestres, Fest — "
Bang ! It was not the sound of a gun, nor the collapse of a ware-
house.

The lad's head simply collided with the marble of the mantel.

He is aroused. Yes, he is much aroused. % % * * *

After a few irrelevant ejaculations, the heroic soul makes another
bold essay to master the vile jargon — but, lo ! his Morphine majesty
gives a tighter hug, and the youth becomes unconscious.

He slept, yea, he slept the sleep and snored the snore of the
righteous.

Sweet was his sleep, and short in consequence. He was awakened
into a semi-conscious state by the thundering toll of the midnight
hour.

Drowsily he gazed about him.

The lamp had burned low, the embers had almost died out, spectral
shadows flitted about the room.

The stillness was now appalling.

As the student cast his eyes round the room, his gaze fell, by
some strange chance, upon the large mirror to his right — a thing
very unusual with him, for he was by no means a vain youth.

As he looked, he saw a sight that froze his adolescent blood.
Each individual hair of his head stood bolt upright, so that they
could have been numbered without difficulty.

He trembled in every limb, and his knees smote one against the
other.

But quickly he recovered his composure — any one does who has
worked with explosives in a chemical lab. — i. e., if others are looking
on — and so the habit, once formed, has a tendency to repeat itself
under other circumstances.

He recovered, as has been said, his wonted serenity, and,
springing to his feet, with quick application of a law of optics lo-
cated the strange apparition. There, before him, stood a creature
that, at first sight, might have been taken for an overgrown kobold
or a brownie.

But on closer inspection, the youth recognized in it the form of
one whom he had seen in other days. On his head he wore a coarse
blue-black skull-cap, bordered with a red band, and on the apex was
a small red button. He had on a full suit of jersey cloth (of the
conventional gob(e)lin-blue color) which fitted his graceful "Cunei "-
form, quite snugly. His feet were encased in a peculiar kind of
slipper, on his nose were the usual " specs," and in his hand he bore
a stout wand.

Seeing the noble youth, the stranger advanced majestically and,

as he approached, the circumambient air betrayed the presence of
stale tobacco and burnt brimstone-sulphur.

Our hero had had several months' practice in the chemical lab.
of the greatest University in America but, for all that, he could not
withstand this ever-increasing, intolerable odor — odor more dire than
the ever-accursed Mercaptan !

And so, following the example set by the lamented Caesar when-
ever he got into a " close " place, he retreated.

The strange visitor, thinking that he had inspired fear in the
heart of the youth, made haste to assure him, and spake in the usual
hollow and commanding tones.

"Fear not, brave heart. It is only "Whiskers." Dost not
know me? It is I — " Whiskers," the sage, the seer, the omniscient
interpreter in ancient lore and in future revelation."

Still seeing an expression on the youth's countenance, which he
mistook for incredulity, he cried again: "Dost not yet recognize
me ? Behold ! Who but Me can do this ? Surely thou dost recall
the great " Whiskers " act ! "

So saying, he placed one end of his stout wand upon the marble
mantel, securing it in place by a ponderous note-book of heavy, in-
digestible notes, while the other end rested on the top of a revolving
book-rack.

" Behold the phenomenon of the "gym !" With these mysterious
words he grasped the bar near the centre with both hands, gave his
limbs and body a forward swing, released his hold upon the bar,
turning completely around as he did so, and caught the bar again
from the other side.

This he repeated several times.

"Can any mortal wight," said he, when his gyrations had
ceased, "but "Whiskers," the sage, the seer and omniscient inter-
preter, do this?"

As the chemist, hardened in his craft, has grown impervious to
the vile odors of his work-house, so our youth became accustomed to his
environment, and made bold to open his mouth and speak.

" Wherefore art thou come to torment me at this unwholesome
hour?"

Whereupon the visitor mysterious — " Cease, my child, thy petu-
lance. Not without honor is the prophet, save in his own country.
Such hath been my experience for the space of a lustrum. Yet,

withal, have I come hither to tell thee the mystery of the coming
years."

At these words the youth became excited, and broke forth thus :

" O thou second-sighted prophet, creature of a double vision —
with the eyes that nature gave thee, and the eyes that art hath made
thee — canst thou say aught of that mysterious future which lies beyond
the vail?"

"Yea, verily," said he, "I can. To this end have I come
hither. I know what thou wouldst ask. Thou wouldst learn the
future of thy beloved '89."

" Even so, mighty prophet, and tell me all thou knowest."

" All that I know ! Thou askest that is not meet — thy brain
could scarce contain it all. But I shall tell thee something of the
mystery of the future, for to this end have I come hither."

^Yhereupon he waved his wand over the head of the student — in
a twinkling the youth was hypnotized. Follow me," said the
prophet, and the youth obeyed.

On, on they went — out into the darkness of the night — never
ceasing from their course until they arrived at a grand, majestic pile
that reared its gigantic front almost to the stars.

Here the guide commanded a halt, and, raising his wand,
touched a massive door, at the same time uttering the red-tape pass-
word of the spirit-land, " Open, Sesame."

Forthwith the door flew open, quickly, but noiselessly.

" Enter," said the prophet.

An inexplicable magnetic attraction, (could it have been due to
the nature of the place?) drew the youth within. Immediately the
door closed behind them, and they were enveloped in the darkness
of a tomb.

The prophet very considerately gave the student one end of his
wand and led the way.

Advancing a few paces, they reached what seemed to be a small
chamber built into the wall. Within this cell there depended a huge
rope, dimly discernible, and which did not present, on the whole, a
very inviting aspect.

Nevertheless, owing to the magnetic influence, the student was
forced to enter.

The prophetic guide uttered a command and, slowly and softly,
as if "elevated " by spirit-hands, they rose, until the dome of the
awe-inspiring edifice was reached.

Here they disembarked and found themselves within a circular
apartment of vast dimensions.

By the aid of the dim starlight the youth made a survey of his
surroundings, the most conspicuous object in the room was a tele
scope of great magnitude, which bore the strange device wrought by
some spirit-finger — even the mysterious characters J. H. U. To this
immense object the student's attention was directed.

" Seest thou," said the prophet, " seest thou far up in the
heaven's blue yon cloud of fantastic form? That is the vail which
hides the future of thy " '89 " from mortal ken. But be not dis-
couraged. Look through this revealer of the hidden mysteries of the
universe, and all will be made as clear as day."

The youth looked and beheld a panorama such as human eye had
never seen.

And under the great interpreter's guidance and suggestion the
secret of the coming years was revealed.

The cloud seemed to be approaching the earth, bearing its des-
tiny with it, and as the glass covered its surface a strange sight was
observed.

A vast concourse of people was gathered about an immense cir-
cular track miles upon miles in circuit.

All seemed to be in a state of great excitement,, and were gazing
intently in a certain direction. Suddenly hands were waved in air,
caps tossed on high, and there strode into the arena the champion
walkers of America, Dr. Harrison and Prof. Hilles, accompanied by
their referee, Dr. " Dickey " Edes, the medical sport, and Shreeves,
the all-wise reporter for The Windy, the mouth organ of the Unre-
strained Cogitators. All was ready. The contestants took up their
stations, the referee entered his box, the word was given, and Shreeves
had a two-column account of the match already written.

Hilles strode along majestically, but Harrison's legs moved so
fast they could scarcely be seen.

Mile after mile, in this way, they covered, until Harrison began
to show signs of fatigue. Great beads of perspiration trickled down
the hairy eaves of his chin, and spattered in the dust at his feet. His
breathing grew heavier, and his pants became shorter and shorter.

Onward the pitiless Hilles pressed with the characteristic giant-
stride. In his face was depicted grim resolution.

The excitement became intense. Even referee "Dickey" was

affected, and walked up and down within his cage, as if he too were
in the contest.

The cool, unruffled reporter of The Windy alone was not trou-
bled for he, of course, knew "just how it would be " — at any rate
he had completed his item, with a full account of the result.

A few minutes more, and Hilles was within a boot's length of
his rival.

But it was evident that he, too, was becoming weak.

All at once there was a commotion among the spectators, and
suddenly a rush was made.

Arm within arm, Hilles and Harrison had fallen down together
— dead.

The powerful Billings picked them up all by himself, and carried
them to his undertaking establishment.

(Let me say, by the way, that Billings, in addition to his practice
of medicine, also followed the vocation of a "Funeral Director"
with marked success.)

And now a change came over the scene.

This was marked by the arrival of a new personage, namely, the
celebrated linguist and scholar, Thomas.

To him, as an old friend of the deceased, was assigned the de-
livery of the funeral oration.

Beginning with the first death on record, he traced down to the
present case. It only took him five hours to do it, but, as his speeches
were always uttered without any pauses in them, this will not seem
improbable.

The scene shifted and another secret was brought to light. There
was a lively contest going on between Jones and Gilpin.

The fight was for the double office of City Chemist and President
of the Hygienic Board, and the struggle was fierce and hot.

Each candidate was so busy sounding his own praises that it
taxed the profound judgment of Mayor Harden to the utmost to decide
between them.

At last a compromise was effected. Gilpin received the position
of City Chemist, and Jones the Presidency of the Board, along with
the important duty of collecting the "birth and death " statistics.

This last was brought about by the consideration that Jones al-
ways took an abnormal interest in marks and averages, even when at
college.

Suddenly there appeared a rift in the cloud and, as the telescope
was directed toward it, the lofty towers of the " Garden City " were
seen.

Gradually things became more distinct, and individuals could
be seen moving to and fro about the streets.

From the number, the towering form of Bernhard, the editor of
the American Journal of Chemistry and discoverer of the primal ele-
ment, was seen to wend its way into a stately mansion on a prominent
boulevard of the city.

He had come over to attend a " spiritualistic seance," given by
Abt and the girls to convince the materialistic editor of the reality of
their doctrine.

In the company were Dr. Eisendrath and Dr. Patek — the latter the
most intelligent physician in Milwaukee.

A table was placed in the centre of the room, and the visitors
took their positions about it. The room was then darkened, and all
anxiously awaited the advent of the dwellers of the spirit-land.

Not a sound was heard. Minute after minute rolled by, and the
stillness and suspense became intolerable.

Each countenance wore an expression of the profoundest awe.

It seemed as if the very presence of Death were in their midst.

All at once there was a great clamor below, and crash after crash
was heard.

The sounds drew nearer and nearer, and suddenly there burst
into the room — an Irish policeman.

Without ceremony he invaded the terror-stricken throng, and,
placing one hand on Eisendrath 's collar, began to club him in the
usual way with his baton.

Having thus rendered him submissive, he bade him follow, and
the twain disappeared together.

When the curtain of cloud rose again, the interior of a court-
room was disclosed to view.

The great trial of Dr. Eisendrath was to take place.

In the first place he was charged with causing the death of
Arch — M-rr-y ; secondly, with the surreptitious assumption of the
body of the aforesaid M-rr-y.

The best counsel in the land, Messrs. Fulton and McCulloh,
was summoned on his behalf.

The counsel for the prosecution endeavored to show that from

time immemorial Eisendrath had persecuted and tormented M-rr-y,
so that the latter found no rest, and that this final act was but the
culmination of a long series of wrongs, etc., etc.

On the other hand, Messrs. Fulton and McCulloh contended
that from the same time immemorial this same M-rr-y was affected
with a disease, commonly called "love." That it was usual with
him to become enamored of five girls at once, but his suit was re-
jected. This, together with undue dissipation in the theories of the
Mathematics of (n) dimensions, had brought on his demise, etc., etc.

The arguments were so well matched that the matter was referred
to the highest judiciary of the United Slates, presided over by Chief
Justice Hull. After careful and long deliberations, that sedate and
learned statesman rendered a verdict of acquittal of the murder,. but
made the Doctor pay the tax upon the body.

Once more the scene changes.

And now there passes before the glass the modest figure of the
philosophical Passano, the greatest mathematician of the day. He
was followed at a respectful distance by Roszel, Keidel and Warren,
the last, as usual, with his hands in his pockets, and his pensive chin
reclining on the diamond stud of his shirt-front.

They moved along slowly, and seemed very dejected and
sorrowful .

"Wherefore is this lugubrious procession, O prophet,' cried
the youth.

" These are old schoolmates on their way to a class-banquet at
Faust's, and Newcomer is to speak !"

At this piece of information the telescope trembled violently,
and then fell with a loud crash.

The prophet uttered a piercing shriek and vanished. With a
bound the youth cleared the room, and dashed down the fire-escape
like mad. But as he descended, he heard the wailing of the spirits
of the place as they moaned — " But the half has never been told."

It seems destined that the beginnings of history must ever remain
enveloped in obscurity, and that every race, when called upon to
give an account of its origin, must have recourse to tradition or spec-
ulation. With this fact before you, be not surprised to learn that it
applies to the Junior Class of the Johns Hopkins University in this
year of enlightenment, 1889, as well as to the barbarous tribes of the
most remote antiquity. For though a continuous record might be
given of the Class of Ninety, the perplexing and hitherto unsolved
question, which at the very outset confronts the historian, is : "At
what exact time did the Junior Class become the Junior Class?"
When did the timid and doubting freshman blossom forth from the
bud of his youthfulness into the flower of the wise and boastful Junior ?
And on what particular day did he pass that indivisible but closely
drawn line which divides the two?

Some authorities, perhaps the best, stoutly maintain that this
interesting transformation occurred immediately after the close of the
University examination in June of 1888, while others with equal con-
fidence assert that it was not until some four months later ; namely,
the re-opening of the University in October.

If June was the time, it was an unpropitious moment ; worn out
by two weeks of searching examination and now looking eagerly for-
ward to home and vacation, the average " Ninety " man had little
time to think of his new honors. The one controlling thought with
those who lived elsewhere was: "What train can I catch ? " And
many who finished their last examination by twelve o'clock, were by
one snugly seated in a railroad car, approaching home at the rate of
fifty miles per hour.

After this hasty and unsatisfactory beginning, there succeeded a
vacation of nearly four months during which the Class had no con-
nected existence,, and of which consequently but little is to be said,
though doubtless during this period the various members of the Class
were nourishing and bringing to maturity those broad ideas, which
had been implanted in their first year's study.

But time flies, especially vacation, and October i is soon at
hand. Now old friends gather again ; words of greeting are heard
on every side ; and all feel a renewed and increased strength for the
battles of the junior year.

Once more the student's foot doth tread
On little Ross Street's sacred bed.
Once more those classic halls resound,
Where brains and wisdom both abound.
Once more our last year's friend we meet,
Once more the well known face we greet,
And once again we see the spot
Where we have gladly cast our lot.
We see a thick and eager throng
Of students hurrying along,
And freshmen hastening to and fro
With looks of misery and woe.

The last line is somewhat suggestive, and at the same time closely
connected with the history of the Class of Ninety. For never did the
members of that Class feel the importance and dignity of Juniors, until
with a mildly patronizing air they could direct the would-be Fresh-
man to the Gymnasium open-not for exercise, but that horror of hor-
rors, the Matriculation Examination, where the poor sufferer is called
upon to give an account of the perplexing wanderings of a Greek
verb, or to find the locus of a point moving in a way still more mys-
terious. But to the Junior these mysteries have lost their horror, and
he can walk about, holding his head aloft, with that self-satisfied air,
which so plainly says : "I have been through this."

After the first rush of hand shaking and greeting, which was the
natural accompaniment of such a reunion, it was found that some
familiar faces were missing, though, with renewed strength and un-
daunted courage, about five-sixths of the original number had returned,
prepared to fight the battles of another year of University life.

The first event of Class interest was the regular meeting of
" Ninety," at which the officers for the year were elected.

Then, naturally enough, the members about to disperse walked
toward College Hall, where the class of Eighty-Nine was in session.
When in front of this building some one cried out : " Let us give the
yell. " " Eighty-Nine " seemed to have been inspired with the same
idea, and the two ''yells " broke forth almost simultaneously. The
result, as regards the relative volume of the two sounds, may be
graphically represented thus (the reader will kindly imagine the
larger type four times as large as printed, and the smaller only one-
tenth of its apparent size) : —

"NINETY! NINETY! GREAT AND MIGHTY!"

"Hopkins! Hopkins! H-O-P-kins !"

"HOORAH! HOO! FOR CLASS OF NINETY!"

" Whoop her up for Hopkins !" etc. ^Too indistinct to be heard, i

The " Eighty-Nine " men were exceedingly discomfited by the
result of this contest of lung power, and the "Nineties" equally
elated. So, flushed with victory, they entered the lower floor of Col-
lege Hall, and there repeated their cheering. The meeting of ' ■ Eighty-
Nine, " whether it had taken a recess, or adjourned, or spontaneously
dissolved, is unknown, had, in either case, sent its members headlong
down the stairs, apparently with the intention of rushing the Class of
Ninety. But alas! "Eighty-Nine" found this harder than they
will find graduating, and after some scuffling in the dark and many
vain attempts to drive the " Ninety " men from the hall, returned
exceedingly crestfallen to the room of their meeting, where they tried
to console themselves by cheering from the windows, though their
voices were for the most part drowned by the exultant shouts of
" Ninety," which had thus successfully repulsed the first attempt at a
Class rush ever made in the history of the undergraduate department
of the Johns Hopkins University.* If the authorities of the Univer-
sity were displeased with this exhibition of what was, after all, only
a friendly rivalry, they can be assured that " Eighty-Nine," at least,
after such an ignominious and inglorious failure, will never again
attempt to rush the Class of Ninety.

Naturally that great question, which was then agitating the en-
tire country, namely the presidential election, interested the Class to
a considerable extent. A majority of the members were not voters ;
but of those who this year could proudly cast their first ballot for

* This Historian's muse appears to be running away with him. See the account given
by '89 on page 23.— Eds.

President, many returned to their homes miles away, in order to ex-
ercise the right of suffrage. Those who lived in the "doubtful "
states were particularly anxious in this regard, and seemed to imagine
that their votes might turn the tide in favor of their candidate. The
latter class mostly cast their ballots for Harrison, while the Baltimo-
reans generally preferred Cleveland.

About this time the question of a Class pin or button was dis-
cussed, at first informally, and then at a Class meeting, which most
heartily approved the project, and, though the designs submitted
on this occasion were rejected, a committee was appointed to obtain
others that the choice might be made from a great variety. " Ninety ' '
feels justly proud of this, as it thus became the first Class to adopt
such a pin, and formed a precedent, which succeeding classes can-
not afford to disregard.

But now the year is coming rapidly to a close, and Christmas
with its gaiety is near at hand. Now again those who dwell near by
are packing their trunks thinking wistfully of home, and still more
wistfully, perhaps, of the examinations, which loom up threateningly
on every side. The holidays, when announced, proved to be shorter
than had been expected ; in particular those who visited their homes
found it difficult to be present on the second of January, and as a
consequence the new year was opened with a small attendance.

The committee on the Class pin at a special meeting reported a
number of designs, of which one, a cross taken from the coat of arms
of the University was accepted. Two of the arms showed the famil-
iar blue and black of the Hopkins, and two the Class colors, ma-
roon and white.

From the third of January it was noticed that there was some
half open secret going the rounds of the University. Soon it was
out, and it was known by all that Hopkins men would, as had been
done the previous year, support Messrs. Booth & Barrett in their
Shakesperian representations. Or in common parlance were going
to " supe " for the above actors.

Let no one judge them harshly for this frolic. The chance of
seeing the company free, and of going into that mysterious region
behind the scenes offered two strong inducements to many. Add to
this the fact that the entire procedure gave a relaxation from the
nightly routine of close study, and we can easily and naturally ex-
plain, why it is that not only in Baltimore but in every city where

Booth and Barrett play, they draw their " supes " from the same
source : namely the colleges of the neighborhood, unless, indeed, no
such colleges exist.

In Othello and also in The Merchant of Venice, some in senato-
rial gray beards and wigs, others in the tights and gorgeous costumes
of courtiers, they upheld their own credit as well as that of the Vene-
tian State.

After this relaxation, there was an interim of routine work with
no event of particular note, until the Gymnasium exhibition on the
twenty-first of October. "Ninety" contributed largely to the suc-
cess of this occasion, and furnished a team for the tug-of-war, which
opposed a team selected from the entire University, the contest re-
sulting in a draw. In all athletic contests " Ninety " has borne
itself with great credit, especially in the Spring Sports of the previous
year, where a vast majority of all the victories fell to this class. The
Foot Ball team, the Base Ball nine, and the Lacrosse team, all draw
much of their best material from the Class of Ninety.

On the twenty-second of February comes Commemoration Day,
which always brings forth a great amount of Class feeling. All day
the colors of maroon and white were conspicuous, and the " yell "
of " Ninety " was heard above all others. In every event of this
festive day "Ninety" was prominent. While both in the Glee
Club, which had given a concert three days before, and in the Banjo
Club which enlivened the Gymnasium performance on Thursday
evening, the Class was worthily represented.

Ten days after Commemoration Day the inauguration ceremo-
nies were held in Washington. Two members of the Class of Ninety
can claim the credit of organizing that party, which in private cars
chartered for the occasion, went to see the new President' enter upon
his office. Despite the inclemency of the weather about one hundred
students gathered in Union Station on that eventful morning. Amid
cheers their train started ; with cheers they made known their arrival
in Washington ; with cheers they marched down Pennsylvania Ave-
nue ; with cheers they received the inaugural address of President
Harrison ; and with cheers the rain-drenched and weary company
arrived in Baltimore at five oclock the next morning.

After so much cheering, let us now, with one long and loud
cheer, close this article which has come to its legitimate end.

'Tis the class of Eighteen Ninety,

Which is called both great and mighty.

She it is that we are here for,

She it is we always cheer for.

Members almost three times twenty,

Brain and muscle both in plenty,

We can praise her without fearing,

She is worthy of our cheering.

Let us honor and revere her ;

Let us one and all, boys, cheer her :

Ninety ! Ninety ! Speak it proudly —

All together shout it loudly :

" Ninety ! Ninety ! great and mighty,

Hoo-rah ! Hoo ! for Class of Ninety."

The class of '91 is composed of about 75 rising (at about 10
A. M.) young men — and Mr. D-m-b-tz. The personal property of
the class is as follows : About three thousand, two hundred and four
pounds of fresh cheek, two magnificent suits of hair, one hat, a foot-
ball, and numerous well-designed " cuts." The History of the class
begins October 1, 1888, A. U. C, Q. E. D., and is divided into five
great eras, which may be profanely written in these terse and ex-
pressive words: (1st.) ety — foot-ball match, '90 vs. '91.

(2nd.) Xmas Holidays. (3rd.) Class yell, colors

and officers. (4th.) — — — The Twenty-second of February.
(5th.) present time. But let us be more diffuse and try to an-
alyze this confused jumble. The glorious foot-ball match is about the
most prominent event in the first division. 'Tis thus ably and feel-
ingly described by our class poet : —

Tune — " Yankee Doodle.'"

Ninety had a foot-ball team,

And it was quite N. G., sir ;
One day it challenged Ninety-one,

And said, " R. S. V. P.," sir.

CHORUS.

Ninety, ninety, Ha ! Ha ! Ha !

You're great and mighty men, sir ;
We beat you badly on that day,

And we'll do it again, sir.

Then Ninety-one said, " Come along,

We're not afraid of you, sir ;
We'll play the game to-morrow morn,

And beat you badly, too, sir." — Cho.

It was a cold November day,

On Clifton's ground they met, sir ;
Our men were bound to win the day,

And they did fight, you bet, sir. — Clio.

Mat Brown, our full-back, got the ball,

And then how he did run, sir ;
He made a touch-down, kicked a goal,

And then the thing was done, sir. — Cho.

Old Ninety didn't say a word,

But silent crawled away, sir ;
They'll be more careful when again

They challenge us to play, sir.

CHORUS.

Hoo-rah Hopkins ! Hoo-rah Hah !

Hoo-rah Ninety-one, sir ■
We take the cake, and snatch the pie,

And likewise yank the bun, sir.

Soon after this the class was organized and officers were elected.
Scarlet and black were the colors decided upon. We have since
learned that Harvard has copied our colors, and we can only say that
we admire their good taste. The yell will be found at the head of
the History, and it is a " dandy." The Xmas holiday is too sacred
a subject to be more than mentioned in these unhallowed pages. The
next important event is the Birthday of that great and glorious old
" chestnut, " George Washington, Esq. On that day the class of '91,
accompanied by other members of the University, went to the exer-
cises at the Mt. Vernon Church to hear Prof. Adams' address (which,
by the way, is 1025 Cathedral Street). As many as were able car-
ried canes with which to applaud Prof. Adams' speech, and were
eve-n attended by Knower and Flood. Since that day the class has
managed to spend its time very pleasantly in playing Tennis, loafing
in the Gymnasium, and many other enjoyable devices. What the fu-
ture may have in store for us we know not. But of one thing we are
certain — that upon whatever enterprise the class may engage, or
whatever may befall it, each man will do his part to reflect honor
upon the most true, noble, and manly class in the University — '91.

The foundation of this Society marks a new era in the history of
debating societies at our universities in this country. It was a great
and novel departure from the older institutions of its purpose, which
have gained such renown at many institutions of learning throughout
the country. In age, compared with many institutions of its char-
acter, it is yet very young ; but notwithstanding this it has gained
a reputation that would make many envious.

Several students of the historical department perceiving the want
of a debating society at the University, where young men could fit
themselves to face larger audiences in the future, determined upon
the plan of establishing a House of Commons similar in organization
to the House of Commons in England. The chief merits claimed
for such an organization over the prevailing systems of debating
societies were that it would offer a freer scope for debate, that
the mode of procedure in discussing measures would be more sys-
tematic and give a better insight into parliamentary law, and the
sharp competition arising between the parties for a position in
the ministry would be superior to any of the old systems for devel-
oping sharp and quick debaters. The House was organized in De-
cember, 1884. Mr. Allen C. Woods was elected as the first speaker.
The constitution was drafted by Dr. Woodrow Wilson and with but
few changes was adopted. All students are eligible as members of
the House when their names are presented by the Ministry and the
House agrees to them. Honorary members with the privilege of de-
bating, but not of voting, may be elected by two-thirds of the mem-
55

bers of the House. The executive government of the House is vested
in an executive Ministry, a Speaker and a Sergeant-at-arms. The
Ministry consists of a Prime Minister, who is chosen by the Speaker
a Home Secretary and a Foreign Secretary who are chosen by the
Prime Minister. The Ministry introduces the Bills for discussion
and is compelled to take a position upon such bills. If the majority
of the House refuse to support the position it has taken upon a par-
ticular measure, the Ministry is compelled to place its resignation in
the hands of the Speaker who appoints a leading member of the Oppo-
sition as Prime Minister. It is the object of the Opposition to ''oust"
the Ministry whenever possible. This compels the Ministry to be
alert for all moves to be made by the Opposition. The questions for
discussion are introduced in the form of bills and pass through three
readings and consideration in the committee of the whole. Bills
when introduced are put upon the docket by the Clerk and are taken
up in order of presentation. The Ministry has to give notice a week
before of their intention to introduce measures. The measures
brought before the House are extremely practical and of great depth :
many of them are problems which are beginning to present themselves
for permanent solution. The debates, at times, have grown very
warm and on several occasions the debaters overpowered for the mo-
ment by excitement have indulged in means, stronger than words,
to enforce their arguments. The House meets every Monday even-
ing, while the University is in session, at 8 o'clock in one of the halls
of the University, which is specially allotted to it. Debate lasts
until half past ten when the students assemble on the street in front
of the building and give the University yell. Several societies of
this kind have been started at other institutions, using the House of
Commons as their model. The most notable ones are those at Bryn
Mawr, near Philadelphia and at the Columbia Law School, New York.

In December, 1883, was held a meeting of students who deter-
mined to organize a society to foster the interests and to promote the
unity of the undergraduates. The first president of this Matriculate
Society was William L. Glenn ; the vice-president and secretary
being Edgar G. Miller and George D. Penniman, respectively. The
first objects for the care of the society were some rooms which the
authorities of the University had placed at its disposal, to be used as
reading and lunch-rooms.

The second president was the late Allen Chase Woods, who filled
the office for two years, and was succeeded by Richard H. Bayard.
Towards the end of the latter's term, a certain ubiquitous though di-
minutive member, commonly known as "The Patron Saint of Da-
kota," began to introduce at each meeting a resolution of suicide for
the society. He must have foreseen that that would happen which
afterwards did come to pass, and that the University would take back
its generous loan. For, alas ! the committee entrusted by the soci-
ety with the duty of caring for the furniture and the literature de-
posited within the sacred precincts of its room, was found quite un-
equal to the task (we blush to tell it) of keeping out the desecrators of
the sanctum and maintaining order and quiet. The Matriculate So-
ciety was unhoused during the term of J. W. Black, its fourth presi-
dent.

But there is one consolation to loyal members. It was about the
same time that the society stepped into its proper pumps by begin-
ning the custom of giving annually two or three "hops" in the
" gym." The first of these very pleasant social affairs was given on
Commemoration Day, February 22, 1887. It was a brilliant success,
and since then there have been four or five others — all well attended
and enjoyable — so that now the "hops" seem to be a permanent
institution.

There was no distinctly Christian Association in the University
until 1882, when a branch of the Young Men's Christian Association,
on a par with the regular Baltimore division of that body, was organ-
ized. This gave place, January 30, 1886, to the Christian Association
of the Johns Hopkins University, which has no connection with the
Y. M. C. A.,* though its work is in that same general line. This
Association has steadily grown and improved, while the progress of
the present year shines pre-eminently above that of former ones. Be-
fore this year meetings were held in College Hall ; lectures, at first
few and far between, but last year and this in a regular course, were
delivered by clergymen of various denominations, professors of the
University, and other persons. The course this year was on "The
Great Books of Christian Literature and Their Authors, ' ' and so great
was the increase in attendance that the lectures were delivered in
Hopkins Hall, and it was, nevertheless, necessary to omit ladies from
the invited guests.

The Association, of course, has in view more than self-entertain-
ment and self- instruction. Individuals, so inclined, assist in the work
of various Mission Schools, Workingmen's Clubs, and wherever it is
practicable to lend a helping hand. The renting of a piano and the
introduction of singing into the exercises has given an added impetus
to the interest taken in the Association by its members. Through
the agency of this body, at the suggestion of the President of the
University, singing has been introduced into morning prayers, which
are themselves not under the control of the Association, and thus the
attendance at these perfectly voluntary services has been materially
increased.

The annual sermon before the Association was preached Feb. 17,
at St. Paul's Church, by the Rt. Rev. Henry C. Potter, Bishop of
New York.

Gymnasium Exhibition.

Brain and brawn were shown to their best advantage at the Uni-
versity on the evening of the twenty-first of last February. On this
evening one of the most successful athletic exhibitions ever given at
the University took place in the gymnasium. Over five hundred
tickets had been sold for the occasion by the special exertions of the
students. All the spare apparatus had to be removed from the gym-
nasium to make room for seats. Every spot available was utilized for
a chair, yet many had to stand. Fully five hundred persons were
present. Baltimore's feminine beauty and the University's professo-
rial dignity were well represented. President Oilman with a party
occupied the spectators' box, and from the smiles that lighted up his
countenance, it was plainly seen that he appreciated manly muscle
and the youthful spirits. College enthusiasm was at the highest
point, and gave vent to itself in numerous yells. The old " Hoo !
rah ! hoo ! J. H. U. !" shook the gymnasium until the windows
rattled.

At eight o'clock the athletes lined up in the dressing-room
and with their familiar yell marched into the gymnasium to go
through the programme and receive the applause and admira-
tion of the audience. The Swedish movements came first, and with
clock-work precision the athletes went through them, doing great
credit to Mr. Magoun's training, and receiving long applause
from the audience. The horizontal bar act was excellently done, and
the audience showed their appreciation by renewed and prolonged
applause. Mr. Robinson of class of '89 carried off the honors in the
wrestling match. To avoid any tendency towards monotony, the
Banjo Club enlivened still more the scene by a few well chosen and

popular airs. They were heartily encored. The performance on the
rings was well done, and elicited much applause. One of the best
acts of the evening was the tumbling. Dashiell made some beautiful
long tumbles. The performance on the parallel bars was very good.
Robinson of '89 showed his pugilistic tendencies by sparring with
O'Donavan. The member of class of '89 was again victorious. The
pyramid act was beautifully done, and brought forth great admiration
from the audience. Last on the programme, but not least exciting,
was the tug-of-war between the class of '90 and the University team.
After a heavy and long pull it was declared a tie. Every one
seemed pleased over the result of the exhibition. There were nu-
merous requests that a repetition might take place in the near futuer.

It is well known that many college graduates have become pro-
fessional ball players ; it has even been reported that some have been
discoyered as " professional tramps." A person having these facts
in mind might be led to suppose that the Hopkins Tramp Club is a

sort of organization of unfortunate alumni, who, failing to obtain
positions as college presidents or even as district school teachers,
have taken to the road as a last means of livelihood. Such, however,
is not the case, although they have several times narrowly escaped
being considered as such. On some of the longer trips fastidious
hotel clerks and prudent landladies have been wont to regard their
dusty clothes and sunburnt faces with considerable suspicion.

The requirements for membership in the H. T. C. are :

Physical. A walk of 30 miles with two or more members.

Mental.

Moral.

The club takes weekly walks and longer vacation tramps. The
routes are chosen with reference to the beauty of the scenery and the
convenience of taverns. At the top of hills it is customary to pause
and moralize on the beauty of nature and the folly of man, by which
time the " Bearded Bard " is probably inspired and the less poetic
members move on.

The rate of the march varies inversely as the proximity of country
maidens and directly as that of bull-dogs or prospective treats. The
longest walk, that of the summer of '88 to Pittsfield, Mass., a distance
of 652 miles, was made in 28 days.

The highest individual records made on club walks for the season
of October, '87-October, '88 were :

Hilles, . . 12 12 miles.
Harrison, . it 76 "

The records of 1888-1889 are not yet complete.

THAT CLASS AT NINE O'CLOCK.
i.

Morning sun is brightly rising, shining into Dalton Hall —

Down the street are briskly walking Hopkins students, short and tall.

No time left for talk or loiter, for, remorseless as a Fate,

When the hour of nine is striking they must in their places wait.

" Late as usual," groans one fellow to his comrades in the block,

" What's the hurry ?" asks a greeny — " Remsen spouts at nine o" clock. ' '

II.

Up the stairs the tardy chemists run with agile steps and swift,
Knowing well that in the class-room Ira waiting will be miffed.
To their seats they quickly scatter — Remsen eyes th' offending men —
" Sulph — " begins the prompt Professor — open flies the door again.
In it stands a lonely student, one whose last name ends in " -lock,"
While between his teeth he mutters : ' ' Can' t get here by nine o"1 clock. ' '

III.
'Mid the growls of distant thunder, he too finds a vacant place ;
" Ur, " resumes the worthy Doctor with a scowl upon his face,
Unvexed he by absent hyphens, interruptions frequent come,
Yet he bobs through all serenely, though his face continues glum,
But the torture soon is over ; class dismissed, away they flock,
With one voice their thoughts expressing : " D — a class at nine
o'clock:'

DRAMATIS FERSON.K.

Thomas Broadside, Esq., a millionaire from Mushroom City, Idaho.

Father of Horatio B. Simple and honest
in character and bearing. Bold as a lion,
strong as a bull.
Horatio Broadside, son of Thomas Broadside, student at J. H. U.,

candidate for degree of A. B.
Eddie Agnosticus, student at J. H. U., candidate for degree of

A. B. ; friend of Horatio.
Dr. William Warfield, Prof, at the J. H. U.
Emil Eldridge, a merchant of Baltimore, father of Bertha.
Bertha Eldridge, a beautiful girl ; reader will know what is meant ;

and is left free scope of imagination.
Mrs. Betsy Woodchuck, sister of Thomas Broadside ; widow ;

very rich ; gorgeously arrayed when she
comes to town .
Squire, Policemen, Turnkey, Students, &c.
Scene I.
[Student lamp on table at which two students, Horatio Broadside
and Eddie Agnosticus, are seated studying.]

Eddie : (Slamming his book shut.) Amen ! I call this enough of

grinding. Ah, boy, won't we knock that examination silly

to-morrow, and we'll take old Warfield by surprise. ' If he

don't give me "i" for it, bless him, I'll pull the stars out of

the heavens and crush him with them !

Horatio : Well, it is a relief to think that to-morrow will end those

pesky examinations and then we'll be done for good : and

when you are an "Artium Baccalaureus, " what then? —

will you make the world know it, will you make a grand

tour over orbis terrarum and see what it can offer you ?

Eddie : I don't care a fig for the world, nor who lives in it, nor what
it can offer me ; as long as it minds its own business, I'll
mind mine. By the way, you are a lucky dog. While
other poor souls run around for weeks to get a suitable hash-
house, and are obliged to shift their quarters monthly, you
drop comfortably into the spacious halls of an uncle, who
has under his roof, into the bargain, a pretty cousin for you
to fall in love with ; and what is more, she has been fool
enough to fall in love with you at first sight.
Horatio : Not so fast, my good old Ed. ; that I love her and would
wish her to be my wife — why that goes without saying ;
but whether she is as willing as I, that's another question ;
you see, during the three years that I have now spent at
my uncle's, she has been my constant adviser and moni-
tress, and I have become so dependent upon her that I
don't know what I should do without her; my mother,
you know, died long ago, and I would be utterly helpless
without Bertha. My father, who is the boss of Mushroom
City, wants me to come out there next year, and if I could

only get Bertha

Eddie : (Rising and preparing to leave.) Good luck to you, poor
Horatius Amorabundus, and may she be as tender to you as
she is severe to me. So long ! (Leaves abruptly.)

(Clock strikes.)
Horatio : (Alone.) Twelve o'clock — what shall I do now? It is a
pity to sleep away a lovely night like this ! Spring is
softly stealing upon us, and we have scarcely begun to
realize it. I shall go and find her out and demand en-
trance into the new life that is now coming over the
earth ; and I shall see the elves and sprites and fairies
sliding down the moonbeams, and busy at pushing the
grass blades from out the earth, and marshalling the sweet
spring flowers. Let him sleep who may. I shall have my
midnight tramp ! (Exit.)

Scene II.
[Beyond the city limits. Three hours afterwards.]
Horatio appears, making prodigious strides, hat under his arm,
hands in his pants' pockets, humming a tune,

A Policeman follows — at first cautiously, then suddenly runs up
to Horatio and grasps him by the shoulder.
Police-Officer : I want you ! (Looks firmly into his eyes.)
Horatio : (Somewhat bewildered.) Hallo !
Pol. : Aha, birdie, I've got you at last ; you're one of the two that

tried to run away from Spring Grove Insane Asylum. I've

been on the lookout for you the last two days.
Hor. : You are mistaken, sir ! I am a student of Johns Hopkins

University.
Pol. : Johns Hopkins — that's the very place I mean ; I'd know'd

you were a lunatic without you telling me that. Come along !

Hor. : Let go, you blamed Irishman ! I'll die before

Pol. : Not at all necessary. Just step into this yer wagon, and

Jimmy be sure to keep this feller pretty close, he's stark mad.

Scene III.
[At the Station House. Horatio and the Turnkey.]

Turnkey : I am very sorry for you, but the only thing you can do
now is to wait until the Squire comes in the morning,
and take lodgings here for the night.

Horatio : If I could only lay hands on that ignorant Hibernian !

Ilium et parentis ceediderim sui
Fregisse cervicem et penetralia
Sparsisse nocturno cruore
Hospitis. [Thunder and lightning !]

Turnkey : (Aside.) Gosh, that fellow must be crazy, he's dead gone;
I'll lock him up. (Aloud.) Please get into this room —
you'll find pleasant company in there — our old customer,
Jake Rattlesnake. Please ease your mind and make 5 our-
self at home. (Quickly closes door behind him and
locks it.)

Scene IV.

[A cell. Horatio and a dark figure just waking up.]

Jake Rattlesnake: Hulloh, partner ! You're coming pretty late,

but welcome just the same.
Horatio : Humph !
79

Jake : (Rubbing his eyes.) Don't fear — here's good — company — for
you. I just come in here every night for lodging ; I'm none
o' your low drunkards, though I do smell o' whiskey 'casion-
ally. Hie ! hie ! do sit down.

Hor. : Jake, I don't care to to-night, and I don't feel like talking,
So let me alone and take this instead. (Gives him a quarter.)

Jake : I don't like to see a han'some feller like you standin', but
have your own way. You're a good friend of mine now,
and as long as the world has got liberal fellers like you, a
philosopher like me need not work.

Hor. : Don't the hungry wolf sometimes invade your royal tran-
quility ?

Jake : 'Taint often, I bet you. I git into a tight place only when
I'm in very hard luck. Not long ago, brother, I sold some
rank patent medicine under a name I forged — name, Dr.
Warfield. It's a wonder they didn't catch me ; must 'a got-
ten somebody else. I know how to play my cards.

Hor. : What made you take the name of Dr. Warfield ? I know a
Dr. Warfield.

Jake: I had to take some name or other and just hit upon that 'un.
Blame it ! Didn't want to take Smith. Good night !

Scene V.

[Before the Physical Laboratory.]

Mr. Broadside and Mrs. Betsy Woodchuck, both gazing wildly
at the building from top to bottom.

Mr. Broadside : Betsy, I guess this is Horatio's 'Varsity. It looks
bigger than t'other buildings all around here. He
must be in here.
(Eddie Agnosticus arrives at the scene.)
Mrs. Betsy W. : (Addressing him.) Young gentleman, is this Ho-
ratio's 'Varsity — Horatio Broadside?
Eddie : He'll be here in a short time if you want to see him. Come
in, I'll call the Professor. (Aside.) Odd people, there's
some fun aboard.

Scene VI.
[In Physical Laboratory Lecture Room. Students seated. Dr.
Warfield appears. Mr. Broadside, Mrs. Betsy W.]

Mr. Broadside : How do, sir. (Takes the Doctor's hand and
shakes it.) I suppose you're the man that runs this
place. I'm Mr. Thomas Broadside, that runs
Mushroom City, Idaho. I came here to take Sis
Betsy here to the steamer for Eurupp. You know
she's got a lot of money and she's got to spend it.
Betsy : I could have come alone — I didn't need you.
Mr. Broadside : Y-a-s ; but besides I wanted to see my son, Horatio
B., him that's going to be a bachelor in arts this
year. You may believe it does my old heart good
to have such a fine boy that'll make his way
wherever he goes and do credit to his dad ; and I
came to see my boy's little cousin and her father ;
and all that is what I came for, too, Mr. President

Dr. Warfield : I beg your pardon — Dr. Warfield — only a Professor
at Johns Hopkins. I am delighted to meet you,
Mrs. Woodchuck, and Mr. Broadside. Your son
will be here in a few minutes : and excuse me,
please, for a little while till I make the necessary
arrangements for an examination I am about to con-
duct. Please take seats.
Mr. Broadside: (To Betsy.) A capital fellow he is, and I'm his
friend, I tell you. He's mighty polite, too, ain't
so, Betsy ?
Betsy : Y-a-s.

[Enter Policeman. Approaches Dr. Warfield.]

Policeman : Sir, I have a warrant for the arrest of Dr. William War-
field on the charge of selling contagion-spreading patent
medicine within this city of Baltimore, April i, 1889.

Dr. Warfield : That is impossible, sir !

Pol. : I am required to carry out this warrant without delay

Dr. W. : I have never had the time or inclination to handle a medi-
cine bottle in my life.

Pol. : You will please come immediately

Dr. W. : You must be mistaken in the name, sir ; it is impossible
that

Pol. : Or I will be compelled to use force.

Mr. Broadside : (Advancing to the group.) Doctor, you had
better go along with him now. I shall go with
you, and as true as I am your friend I shall stand
by you to the last. It would take a dozen of
those blue-coated, cowardly libellers to throw a
man like me. (They leave the room.)

Mrs. Woodchuck : (Running up to Mr. Broadside.) Brother Tom,
what is to become of me !

Mr. Broadside : Oh come along — plenty room in the wagon. I

can't leave this gentleman alone; Horatio would

give you some Latin authorities for it. Ha ! Ha !

(All enter the patrol-wagon. As it goes off students come out

and give the J. H. U. yell.)

Scene VII.
[At Station House. Horatio and Squire. Jake Rattlesnake in
a corner says he wants to see the youngster set free.]

Squire : I have sent for Mr. Eldridge, who may testify to your iden-
tity. You will have to remain until he comes.

Horatio : This delay seriously conflicts with an important matter I
have on hand this morning, but I suppose I must suffer
what fate has decreed. (Goes off musing.) If Bertha
finds out that I've gotten into another scrape, and all
through my own fault, she'll lose all hope of my final re-
covery. I was having an enjoyable time walking last
night, imagining I was dancing with fairies in the moon-
light— true, I tried to look as hideous as possible — but as
far as I can recollect I was just composing some delightful
verses to Bertha and humming them when that infernal
cobb nabbed me. A pretty good joke upon the whole, but
not good for my examinations. (Sees a morning paper
and reads.) " One of the runaway lunatics of Spring
Grove caught by the ever-vigilant detective, O'Flanna-
gan. The lunatic swears his name is Horatio Broadside."
This is simply prodigious / (Front door opens, and Dr.
Warfield, Mr. Broadside, his sister and policemen enter.
Horatio starts back at sight of his father, then approaches
him.) Why, father, how did you get here?

Mr. Broadside : Horatio, my boy, and you here !

Hor. : Father, I will explain matters to you.

(Draws him aside, and they converse. Mr. Eldridge and Bertha
enter unnoticed by any but Squire.)

Dr. Warfield : (To Squire.) Sir, I have been dragged away from
my occupation this morning, without fault or provo-
cation of my own, upon a charge which I deny. I
threaten to sue the man who attempts to lay such a
charge upon my character.
Squire : You must prove yourselves innocent of the crime, that's
all we desire, and unless you can do so at once we hold
you for further trial.
Dr. W. : This is an outrage !

Squire : The warrant clearly calls for Dr. William Warfield, which

is your name. We must have witnesses and proofs. Please

busy yourself to bring them forward. (They keep arguing.)

Mr. Broadside: I understand my boy, you have been in hard luck,

but that don't matter ; and if you can clear that

gentleman over there from his scrape, I'll say

you've profited by your college education.

Horatio : Why, that's Dr. Warfield ! No examination ! What is

he here for?
Mr. Broadside : They hustled him off for selling patent medicine.

Does he do any of that ?
Horatio : No ! Patent medicine ! I've got it. (Goes to Jake in the
corner.) Jake, you scoundrel, here is a man whose name
you forged, arrested for selling your medicine. Sign this
paper at once, stating the facts as they are ; and take this
money — it will carry you a long way out of sight, and
never come back again.
Jake : I'm sorry for the gentleman ; give me the paper, quick !
There's the signature. Gosh ! — a pile of money ! This is
better than selling medicine. Good morning, gentlemen.

(Exit as fast as he can.)
Horatio : Gentlemen, I can prove by this paper that the medicine
was sold by the tramp, Jake Rattlesnake, who has just
escaped, and who forged the name of Dr. Warfield. Here
is his written confession. (Hands it to the judge. Sees
Bertha.) There's Bertha — now I'm undone.

Squire : (Aside.) He seems rather sane, but we will have proofs

and witnesses. (Aloud.) Is Mr. Eldridge here?
Mr. Eldridge : Here !

Squire : Do you know this man ? (Pointing to Horatio.)
Mr. Eldridge : He is my nephew and lives at my house ; his name,

Horatio Broadside.
Mrs. Betsy W. : And I am his aunt.
Squire : Silence !
Mr. Broadside : Sir ! What means he to speak that way to a

woman ?
Squire : Is he a student at Johns Hopkins?
Dr. Warfield : I can testify to that.

(Squire leaves bench to prepare decision. Horatio and Bertha
have for some time been talking together apart.)

Bertha : And so this is the last and greatest adventure, or rather

predicament, into which you have fallen. But it was good

and kind of you to turn it to the advantage of others. I

was here and heard it all.

Horatio : You are very good to tell me that ; but I do wish I could

do everything good and right and keep out of scrapes. I

wish I had some one to keep me constantly in the right

path.

Bertha : Has not some one been trying to keep you in the right path?

Horatio : Yes. I know you have, but I want some one to be nearer

and closer to me than ever before. I want some one to

look at every hour of the day so I may become better

every hour of the day. I would then bid defiance to the

unlucky stars under which I was born — if I knew " some

one " loved me as I love her.

Bertha : Some — one — loves

Horatio : Oh say it, Bertha ! Do you love me, and will you be my
wife ? Will you live with me in any corner of the world
to which I may be called to go ? Oh happiness beyond
expectation ! Oh say it, Bertha, will you ?

Bertha : Yes

Squire : Silence ! Horatio Broadside is at liberty, and the case of
Dr. William Warfield is dismissed. We are now ready to
hear the claim of suit.

Dr. Warfield : I withdraw the claim : and Mr. Horatio, I thank
you heartily for the kind assistance you have ren-
dered me in this unpleasant affair.
Mr. Broadside : Let us have a jolly shake of hands, and my son —
pride of your dad — you shall come with me into

the West, if you like. You are a noble son

Horatio : Father, I have more news for you. Bertha has consented

to be my wife, and will live with me wherever I go.
Mr. Broadside : God bless you, my children ; I knew you loved
one another ; take all my millions, and do with
them what you like, for I shall claim only a fath-
er's share of your hearts ; and, my boy you shall
start a newspaper at Mushroom City, and won't
we make them stare ?
Mr. Eldridge : I had no idea Horatio wished to become a bachelor
of hearts .' He has selected an odd place for com-
mencement exercises. We must leave this queer
rendezvous at once, and I would be glad to see you
all at my home, not far away.
Mrs. Betsv : But I won't miss my trip to Europe. Suppose you all

go with me.
Dr. Warfield : We will soon give the young men their A. B.'s, and
then they can go ahead and marry, and take honey-
moon trips, and (with a tender look at Mrs. Betsy) I
would not seriously object to taking a voyage over
seas myself.
Mr. Broadside : Then we will all go — Horatio and Bertha, too. It
will take months to straighten the tangled events
of this morning.

ATROPOS.

What meaneth all this sorrow,

This spirit of unrest ?
Think ye of sad to-morrow

And friendship's cruel test,
When all this class of eighty-nine

Their ties of love must sever,
Their happy college days resign,

Must part, perhaps forever ?

Soon toward the south one saileth,

Some wander to the north,
The dying sun one haileth,

Some to the east go forth.
Yea, all this class of eighty-nine

To-morrow's morn will sever.
'Hie fallen leaves of friendship's vine

Must scattered be forever.

Some go for glory hoping,

Some go to conquer sin,
For knowledge others groping,

Some but their death to win.
So all this class of eighty-nine

By Fate's decree must sever,
The tendrils which their hearts entwine

Must tear away forever.

But still, rejoice, my brothers !

For parting do not weep.
Let each one's heart the others

In fond remembrance keep.
This glorious class of eighty-nine

Shall be forgotten never,
Its great illustrious men will shine

In noble deeds forever.
Fare ye well !
Fare ye well !

Leonard Magruder Passano.

CLASS UTTERANCES.

Professor. — How do you make oxygen, Mr. O ?

Student. — You buy it ready made ; it comes in big iron gasom-
eters.

Professor. — Does any relation occur to you between the radia-
tion and absorption of heat?

S {with great hesitation) — Well, sir, — eh — under some cir-
cumstances— eh — if the two are equal — eh — and — eh — if you know-
one — eh — eh — (sudden idea) you can ascertain the other.

Professor. — By frequent repetition you can learn a combination
of meaningless words so thoroughly as to be able to say them with
one hand while you write a letter with the other.

That's a splendid trick ; that beats Heller. (Why did the class
laugh ?)

B , by way of being funny, in Osteology put a small skull on

the large body of a quadruped as Dr. A entered and said : "The

bond of sympathy between the person who did this and the skeleton
itself must have been very strong, as he has put the skull of a sheep
on the body of an ass." And B , like an ass, felt "sat on."

S (in Psychology). — " Doctor, are not sensations of color

sometimes aroused by certain sounds?"

T , (aside). — " Yes, some pianos make you feel blue."

It was in Physics when R was struggling at the black-board

with a problem in "sound," that a tired member of "The Class "
remarked : " What came we into the laboratory for to see? A Reiii
shaken by the wind?"

Class. — " Doctor, can't you give us the examination on Monday
instead of Friday ?"

Jyrofessor. — Well — gentle-men real-ly I cawnt — as I shall be —
just — as full as I can be, next week.

It was one of those "great and mighty " '90 men who, in enu-
merating the early Church Fathers, placed Pope Alexander Borgia
among them.

Professor. — " Mr. }- , can you tell me the difference between

these two batteries?"

J- — — , (catching hold of one). — "Why, eh, whew ! This one is
charged, and, eh, why, eh, the other, I suppose, is paid for."

ELOCUTION

You open your mouth and you shut your eyes.

Be-e-e-you-u-o-o-p !
You fill the night with unearthly cries.

Be-e-e <S:c. !
You stretch out your arms, and you thump on your chest,
You lie on your back and on your — h'm — rest
A big dictionary, and with itoppress'd

You say be-e-e &c, !

Your tongue and your lips up in knots you tie,

Id, it, ik :
You work your jaw till you're ready to die.

Id, it, ik :
You count in a whisper : two-thousand-and-one.
And on up to twenty, and then you are done,
And people all laugh and think it great fun.

Id, it, ik :

Then, " Oh, ye cruel Romans," you sing,

Ooo-wa-hoo :
In bass and falsetto you make it ring.

Oo-wa-hoo !
You mimic the trombone, the cornet, and drum,
You mimic the bumble-bee's beautiful hum,
You howl till the cats that live near you are dumb.

Oo-wa-hoo :

You're supposed to be walking and " see a snake,"

Equilibrium's the basis of grace,
So very appropriate gestures you make.

Equilibrium's, etc.
You trip it along, like Hermes of old,
One foot in the air you daintily hold,
While you pick up a handkerchief, for you've been told

Equilibrium's, etc.

JVtutual Life Insurance Go.

. CALLS . ATTENTION . TO THE .
.... FOLLOWING . FACTS ....

The Company is peculiarly strong by reason of the character of
its business and its financial condition.

Its premiums and reserves upon new business are computed on
the assumption of earning only 3 per cent, in the future instead of 4
per cent., which is the lowest basis taken by any other company.
This conservative action was taken in view of that constant tendency
to a lower rate of interest on the best securities, which increases as
wealth increases, and in view also of the fact that many of its con-
tracts must run at least fifty or sixty years and encounter all the con-
tingencies of so long a period.

These premiums and reserves are, therefore, much more conser-
vative than those of any other company ; they provide a larger amount
for security and a less amount for expenses ; although they are no
higher, and not as high as those now used by the most prominent
companies which provide no permanent additional strength, but
merely a larger margin for expenses and speculation.

The actual cost of legitimate insurance in the Connecticut Mu-
tual has been at least as low, on the average, during its entire history
of over forty years, as in any other company ; its business is on such
a basis that it is likely to maintain its relative position.

Its assets, January 1, 1889, were $57,460,649.20; its surplus by
its own standard of liability — more conservative than that of any
other company or than that of any Insurance Department — was
$5,214,709.59; while by the highest legal standard it was $5,-
